联合国粮农发展基金(IFAD)总裁Alvaro Lario发出警告，持续的武装冲突和全球能源市场震荡正在推高燃料、化肥和食品成本，威胁着全球减贫进展 [1]。
根据最新联合国报告，到2030年，全球仍可能有超过5亿人面临慢性饥饿 [1]。Lario指出，若能源和冲突冲击继续，可能会使900万至1800万人额外陷入饥饿 [1]。
非洲将首当其冲 [1]。到2030年，全球近60%的长期营养不良人口可能集中在非洲 [1]。Lario强调，非洲国家每年进口近1000亿美元的食品，这凸显了加强本地食品生产和区域贸易网络的紧迫必要性 [1]。
The head of the United Nations International Fund for Agricultural Development has sounded an alarm over mounting threats to global food security. Alvaro Lario warned that ongoing conflicts and turbulence in global energy markets are driving up the costs of fuel, fertilizers, and food, jeopardizing efforts to reduce poverty worldwide. [1]
According to the latest UN report, the situation remains dire despite modest recent improvements in global hunger conditions. More than 500 million people are projected to face chronic hunger by 2030, with Africa bearing the heaviest burden. [1] The continent is expected to account for nearly 60 percent of the world's chronically malnourished population by that year. [1]
Lario cautioned that if energy and conflict shocks persist, an additional 9 to 18 million people could be pushed into hunger. [1] He highlighted that African nations import nearly $100 billion worth of food annually, underscoring the urgent need to strengthen local production and regional trade networks. [1]
